Kurdish YPG militia on Monday raided villages in Deir Ezzor province in eastern Syria to detain participants in demonstrations against the terror group, according to local sources.
The terrorist organization rounded up some 50 Syrian citizens in the last 40 days and placed them in a prison in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, the sources said.
Since August, Arab residents of Deir Ezzor province have staged demonstrations against the YPG militia to protest discrimination against the local population, as well as poor living conditions and rampant corruption in the region.
Two civilians were killed from the YPG fire during the demonstrations so far.
Deir Ezzor is a major link between Iran and Lebanon. Pipelines and trade routes from Iraq and Jordan also pass through the province.
